Renewable Energy Sources in Heating Systems: Practical Applications and Analysis of Scientific Research

Abstract

This study analyses the use of solar energy in the heating systems of residential buildings and various sectors of the economy, based on scientific research conducted both in foreign countries and in Uzbekistan. The data show that there is significant potential for efficient utilization of solar energy in the southern regions of the country, considering the available solar resources and climatic conditions. However, there are challenges related to the integration of solar-based heating systems into combined configurations. Studies have focused on the effectiveness of using solar energy through the integration of solar collectors, photovoltaic panels, and heat pumps as well as on reducing energy consumption and optimizing production processes. Special attention is given to methods and
